What do you do as a Christian to better yourself everyday? give to charity? read your bible? pray to God? learn new skills? preach in his name? etc... there are many things we can do to praise God being yourself is a good way to praise God what are ways you better yourself? share instructables and experiences in this thread about all around bettering yourself and becoming more skilled.....

This is my idea: https://www.instructables.com/id/Cigar-bo... This is the other idea: https://www.instructables.com/id/False-Bo... The second idea was a finalist in a contest on Instructables. I was also in the contest with the first idea. I was wondering exactly how this was a finalist over mine? My idea was the same thing, but improved. It was even entered before his! My idea featured some of the things that people commented as an improvement in his instructable. The only thing I can think of is maybe the simplicity of design? Mine has more to it than just a secret box though, and it was far more concealed.

Hey everybody!As you know, the instructable chatroom we always use is getting slower and slower as the comments builds up... :(Until gmjhowe made another faster, chatroom here!It is called The Super Uber Mega Instructables Chatroom. Enjoy!Also its the exact same chatroom as on the ibles website, so anyone in the uber version can talk to people in the normal version (on the ibles website).I am not trying to spam here, the reason I am doing this is because a lot of users are complains that the old chatroom is getting slower...

hello, i am starting up an online store, and am already starting to sell some of my pyrotechnic supplies, such as manganese dioxide and charcoal, but i just realised, on ebay (my online store is not an ebay store), people are only ever selling pine charcoal or willow charcoal! which doesnt make much sense since is a super fine powder and is made up of carbon. i need to know what makes these so much different from regular random tree charcoal that comes from just anywhere, and, is the charcoal i have now, which is of unknown origin, but mostly of from pine-like trees in the tropics, the same? i need to know if it makes any difference since i dont want angry customers demanding refunds because it isnt as good as other charcoal!

Instructables.com is an awesome site, but its still young and could still use some improvements.
Post your ideas here
Mine:
-Add something showing progress while you upload photos.
-Make the new editor default

Hey! I just want to suggest that the instructables team adds a "read later" (or something similar like "want to do") button that bookmarks an instructable you're interested so you can check it out later because sometimes you want to build a project and don't have the materials on hand,so with a read later button you can come back to the instructable later without a lot of searching for the exact one you were planning on doing. Not sure if this is in the right place so please redirect if it isn't. Thanks!

It would be fairer to sort the entries from least views at the beginning, to most views at the end. Now, it's the opposite. And visitors are too lazy to browse to the last page of the contest, which can be seen in the views counts: Right now in the Humana Health by Design Contest, the last entry has 43 views, which is only 0.1% of the views the one at the beginning has: 32,171. This means that whether an entry is going to be a finalist, only depends on little differences in views at the beginning of the contest. The ones that are just a little in the majority get almost all views, the ones who were just a little in the minority get much less views, so the differences get bigger and bigger during voting time. And the amount of votes of course depends on the amount of views. It would be fairer if all entries get about as much viewers, so the same chances. This can easily be done by sorting them in the opposite order, so they switch positions all the time.

My brother make videos and we have an iMac, lets just say it is not substantial for his needs. Now just to get the point across we came up with a fair MAC-Pro, it has an SSD for faster boot and render, then a 1 tb drive for storage, a 4 core cpu, two radion hd whatevers, two monitors and no other special add-ons, price = 6,992.00 USD. Now we came up with a massive decked out PC based substantially off of Dream Machine 2011. It has an SSD, an intel i7 3.4 ghz (two more than the mac and 200 dollars less) a 3 tb massive kick ass hard drive which cost less than the one tb, 8 gb of ram for 50 dollars, the mac was well over 300. The biggest newest graphics card NVIDIA has the 590 costing about 750 dollars. Two 27" monitors a decked out sound system, a RAT 5 Mouse, a generic keyboard, v8 cpu cooler, fair case from cooler master, 1000w power supply, Blue Ray dual write disk drive thing, and the dream machine mobo. It came in at 2950 dollars and every price for parts was rounded up to the nearest 5 dollars. Mac = about 7000 PC = about 3000 Mac = less storage, less speed, less performance PC = KICK ASS Mac = is it worth it just to do videos PC = what is a good PC movie aplication/program

A Million Ways to Skin a Cat. I have to say that one of my favorite places in the web is https://www.instructables.com. Waking up to that email on thursday mornings, the https://www.instructables.com news letter makes me happy im such a geek. I love to read the peoples reviews and each individual point of view... those comments sometimes really get me going.... I have done a few DIY form this site but I guess I am not a forum/comment guy. (to be fair this is my first post on a forum since 2008) And now... to the point . I invite https://www.instructables.com to help us geeks challenge each other while improving the site with a simple new feature. A Million Ways to Skin a Cat Basically get from "step a" to "step b" you an follow different approaches. A step or a process in an "instructable" may be improved or explained in any other way. This feature enables users to set there creations free and make all the community share there ways and get to the optimization of projects. Think of the search for a new project starting from a proces you already know. For example: using a DREMEL tool on wood. You could se many instructables containing this keywords, but what if you could see the process of carving wood, explained in detail on many ways, by many users. The user will share his method, and experience or simply pitch in with some new info or detail he might have encounter or needed during the process. On the GUI I imagine below the next step lower right button a button that says something like "MORE" or "A.A. (another approach"). This button coul also link to another instructable that has a detail guide on how to do the process at hand. Instructables will start to branch out and interconnect to form an organic and hands on detail database. Any ways thats my humble idea. I wish it helps this site to grow and keep helping people. P.S. Maybe you have another way, who knows if out there are one million more ways...

Just want to say something: PEOPLE NEED TO USE MACRO MODE ON THEIR CAMERAS. Just press the button that looks like a flower. It lets you take macros, which are for taking close up pictures. You have no idea how many instructables there are out there with incredibly blurry pictures.

So I decided I didn't like my Racker Rifle that much anymore. Mostly because it had one or two broken parts. So I took TheDunkis's idea that he pitched to me on the original ible of using hinges for an even stronger trigger. Turns out I could fit the new trigger mechanism in perfectly into the old gun body, so the gun from the outside looks almost unchanged. The good thing though is that the trigger no longer uses a broken part and it is even stronger. The other change is that it has a modified SwagBoss handle on it for the ramrod, but I've had that on their for a while. Thanks to The Foofinator. The internal picture is like 95% right, I tweaked one or two things after I took that picture before I put the whole thing together.

As i was working on my own knex sniper, which still needs a lot of tweaks, i began to think about all of the possible ways to make it better, a friction-less (something like killerk's srv1/2) barrel, maybe a better trigger, stock, even ammo type to get the most range out of your sniper, the point of this is for you to post guns for a certain trait like, barrel, trigger, stock, etc., so that someone, maybe me if im up to it, can combine the parts to make a better sniper, or just improve our own :P...

I'm wanting to make a large "cheese grader" type tool that I can push.. It would skim the high points and deposit and clay in low points. I can't use wheels because the grader would follow the contour , when in face it needs.. Leveling .. Thanks anyone who cares :)

I am hoping this will soon become a forum where everyone can come to see lists of instructables that they can easily do around the house. This is not however an extra way to promote your unrelated ible. If you truly believe that your project helped the environment with then Zeroth law applies: Thou Shalt Post. Also please dont refrain from commenting on peoples instructables from here so that people know what is good/easy/difficult/effective ect. I will start by posting my own. Its not very good but it is very easy and effective and i still use mine without damage. My second instructable.

I have a PS3, and I really want to get a Mercenaries game, but I don't know which one to get. Basically, I want to know which game is better, and what makes it better, and which one has a Lamborghini (because that will play a huge part in my decision).

I'm making this topic in order to make people come forward with their ideas for improving the instructables android and ios app. So if you have any ideas for improving the app functionality, overall space requirements, app features or anything else please come forward.
As a start I would like to name a few features:
- I would really like a "clear cache" button and an option to cache to a SD card;
- I have no idea if this is done, immediate project updates between the app and online profile of the user that is logged in;
- immediate comment updates when someone comments on a project and all relevant project updates (e.g. when a project is featured), also definable by the user;
- a popup that comes up when you press back button on the main screen stating "press again to exit".
That is all from me now. I'll be back with more ideas (I think). Join and let's make the app much more user friendly and customizable.

What are the main differences between CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) and TTL (Transistor-Transistor-Logic). The things I want to know: Which type do you use? Which kind do you prefer? Which type do today's computers use? Are CMOS and TTL compatible? These are the few things I know about them: CMOS ICs (overall) will draw less current compared to TTL CMOS are less picky in regard to their voltage supply. It seems like most people like CMOS more than TTL. Thanks! Comments, answers, and everything else is appreciated!

I know this question might sound dumb but i'm going to ask it. I am wondering if I can use stefans (modified nerf bullets) with the Nerf Vulcan. Right now I do not have the Nerf Vulcan or Stefans to test them, that's why i'm asking this. Thanks in advance!

Overall do you guys think Killerks Knex Pistol is better than his Magnum. Or do you think KIllerks Magnum is better than his first pistol? I think his Magnum is better-because it looks better, better accuracy,and has real trigger thats unique.
